it was a long-time plan of mine to do volunteer works at our parish, and i fulfilled this plan today.
earlier this day, i volunteered myself to help in the packing of relief goods. the call time was really at 8 am, but unfortunately i wasn't able to wake up early. haha!=)) i went there after lunch and started the work immediately. there was still much work to be done when i arrived, so everybody was busy at that time. there were about 10 to 20 volunteers at that time. relief goods such as rice, cans of sardines, noodles and clothes were distributed to the families that was affected by the previous storm, "ondoy". the packed-relief goods was about 400-500 bags, and the beneficiaries was about 300-400 families. we made sure that there would be lots of extra bags because we were expecting to have more than the expected amout of families that would arrive.
it was a really fullfilling act. although it was a hot afternoon and a very tiring work, everything was worth it when i heard so many thanks from the families that we helped. everything was worth it when i saw families going out of the church with big smiles on thier faces. gratitudes filled the place and hope was shared to all.
